I had an awesome time attending the annual Southeast Partners in Amphibian and Reptile Conservation meeting in Alabama with my lab over the weekend. I'm so proud of all the research everyone is doing to protect and conserve herpetofauna and their habitats across this country.
My master’s research with @stephenrichter2 on eastern copperhead foraging and defensive behavior is out now in Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology! link.springer.com/article/10.100…
Finds from the Willson Lab’s trip to Devil’s Den State Park this weekend (P. angusticlavius, E. tynerensis, L. palustris, P. albagula)
Some great detections in a local solar array by our drift fence prototype
Officially kicked off PhD field work yesterday!
Some handsome new additions to the EKU Vivarium courtesy of Dr. Mark Teshera at Centre College. (C. horridus and A. contortrix)
Like sharks, rattlesnakes often inspire more fear than they deserve one.npr.org/i/1120917845:1…
The publication that is the culmination of my undergrad thesis research has been cited for the first time! Pretty good news for a random Wednesday. And while I’m by no means a “bird guy”, I do miss my herring gulls. academic.oup.com/cz/article/67/…
Warm weather in Kentucky means that it’s finally squamate time (P. fasciatus, C. amoenus, S. occipitomaculata) (Garrard Co.)
Happy to have successfully defended my MS thesis proposal. Excited to get into the field and try to uncover how human contact influences copperhead behavior.
